To all whom t mayconcern. y

Be it known that I, JOHN J. MEYER, a citizen ot the United States, and a resident of the city ot NewYork, borough oi' Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and Improved Insertable Joint, oit-which they :tollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This inventionk relates to insertable joints for soil pipes .and the lilre and has for an object to provide an improved construct-ion wherein a new section may be inserted without disturbing tliellower part of the soil pipe orthe upperfpart and at the same time present proper support torfthe superimposed sections of pipe, the structure being such that a substantially'continuous pipe structure is provided.

` Another ob"ect of the invention is to provide an improved jointior soilpipes where in set screws are utilized to center Aand supporty the superimposed pipe sections.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a structure wher-ein superimposed pipe sections may be supported at ydifferent points on the inserted pipe section.

il still further objectot the invention to provide an insertable joint which in part is a continuation ot my co-pending 'appli'- ,catiomSerial No. 612,179, patentedJ an. 15,` '1923,.Number 1,492,521. i f

In the accompanying drawings-4 Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation ot" part of a soil pipe line arranged in a building, certain parts being shown in section for better illustrating the construction.

Figure 2 is a side view of theupper end of the. inserted pipe section shown in Figure l. K

Figure 3 is a sectional view through Figure 2, approximately on line 3 3. Figure 4 is a sectional view through ure 2, approximately on line 4--l- Figure 5 is a view similar but showing a slightly modii'ied construction. Y

Figure 6 is aview similar to Figure Il, but showing a second moditied construction. Figure 7 is a fragmentary sectional view throughv partof a hub .and supporting abutment disclosing another form of support.

Referring to the accompanying drawings rigT by numerals., 1 indicates part ola building and 2 the soil pipe line. In order to putin an extra section, as for instance,l the Y'section 3, it is necessary to remove one of the to Figure Il,

sections of the line and in removing the saine the section is usually broken.v As the various sections of the line 2 have bells or hubs, an ordinary section cannot be placed 1n position unless all the superimposed pipesections .are removed. To obviate this necessity, a single insertable pipe section 4 is provided and is made of a special construction whereby it'may be readily inserted and certain parts thereof adjusted to cause .a proper support of the superimposed pipe sec'- tionsl arranged above the section t. It will be noted that the Yy section Sis of usual construction provided with a hub or bell 5' and the lowermost pipe section 6 of the superimposed sections of the pipe line 2 is of the usual construction having a bellor hub 7 and a. straight body adapted to fit int-o the hub or bell 9 oi' section 4. The lower end of section 4; is fitted into the hub 5 in the usual manner but before this is done, the hub 9 is telescoped over the lower end of section 6 until the lower end of section fl may be swung over the hub 5. After this has been done, the parts are lowered tothe position` shown in Figure 1 while the section 6 and other superimposed sections are supported by a wire or in any desired manner formed integral with the hub. One of these bosses is bored and. threaded for receiving Vthescrew 11 whereby .an ample thickness is provided. Also the. various bosses 12 act as an artificial or raised bottom for the hub 9y and readily engage and support the tiber or packing 13 which in turn supports the lead' or other packing 14 until the same be` comes hard, after which itv may be tamped Vin position if desired. Before the packing members are inserted, thevarious set screws 15, 16, 17 and 18 are brought under tension for properly centering the endr of the section 6 for clamping the same. against movement. In addition, the clamping screwsl l19 'and 2O are alsdtightened. It desired, one of these screws could be eliminated and onlyY a single screw used so that one of the projectionsl 21 could act as ,an abutment. It desired, all of the set screws 15 to 18 could be eliminated where one of the screws 19 or 2() is provided.

`When it is desired to support the section G at a lower point than the abutment end 10, the screw 11 is moved outwardly to the position shown in Fig. l and the screw 22 is screwed inwardly until the abutment end 23 thereof presents a proper support for the section G.

In Figure 5, a slightly modified form is shown to that illustrated in Figures 1 to et. In this ligure the bosses 12 are eliminated and solid screws 24 are provided, each screw having an abutment end 25 preferably of the same size as the bosses 12. It desired, one or all of the screws 24 could be projected inwardly as shown in Figure 5 or only one projected inwardly vfor acting as a support and the others acting separately7 in the capacity of a raised bottom or the hub 9.

In Figure 6, another form of the invention is presented wherein the screw 26 is formed similar to the screw 11 except that the aperture therein is offset so that the screw 2T will be eccentrically positioned. By this construction and arrangement, the

vend of screw 27,1nay be adjusted vertically upon a rotation of the screw 26 whereby the end of the pipe section G will be raised or lowered. In this form of the invention, preferably bosses 12 are presented.

Figure T discloses another form of vthe invention whereby a proper support and raised or auxiliary bottom presented. In this form of the invention the screw 29 acts in the capacity of a plug and also a support for the screw 30, which latter screw is provided with lia-nge 31 embedded into a supporting and clamping head 32. VlPreferably the head 32 is rotatably mounted on the flange 3l whereby the head may be pressed outwardly against the side walls of the lower end of section G or may be projected beneath the lower end of section 6 when in operative position. Ilhenever desired, the head 32 may be withdrawn into the socket 33 formed in the plug or screw 29.

It is understood that the set screw invention may be applied to the hub of a Y section or branch litting or that the insertable joint may have a branch outlet. It is further understood that the bosses' act as guides as well as a false bottom andas protectors for the screws, presenting a minimum of exposure of the screw supporting head to the corrosive action of the water.
